Playing ball

Abstract

A playing ball for kicking, throwing, spinning, or rolling, and combinations of these having an outer skin formed by three geometric portions, a central cylindrical disc having a diameter of about nine units of measurement and a pair of flanking dome shaped parabolic portions connected to the cylindrical central portion and both of the domes on the same principal axis as the cylindrical center portion and smoothly connected thereto.

I claim: 
     
       1. A playing ball having a circular center disc portion and having a parabola dome upper configuration and a parabola dome lower configuration, the base portion of said domes each peripherally connected to said disc. 
     
     
       2. A playing ball having a continuous outer surface defining an enclosure formed by a pair of upper and lower facing parabola dome portions connected to a coaxial center disc portion, said disc portion forming a peripheral narrow width band in a curvalinear plane around the principal axis. 
     
     
       3. A playing ball having a central disc portion which is cylindrical and having a width of one unit and a diameter of 9 units; and a pair of parabola domes, each having a circular base diameter of 9 units and a height of two units and said parabola domes smoothly joined to said disc portion at the perimeter circular edges thereof forming an enclosure.   
     
     
       4. The playing ball of claim 2 wherein said disc portion and said connected dome portions and said disc together define an enclosure having resilience and elasticity, said enclosure having external surface patterns to enhance grip and friction and having counterbalanced inflation means through said enclosure. 
     
     
       5. The playing ball of claim 2 wherein said enclosure comprises a skin and said skin is filled with rubber-like resilient material adhered to said skin. 
     
     
       6. The playing ball of claim 2 wherein said enclosure is a supported skin having a friction extending outer surface for a hand gripping position, at rest, on said dome portions and on said perimeter disc surface for selected throwing, spinning, kicking and rolling of said playing ball.
